The List Was Long

Today I really did not feel like going shopping for all of the Christmas necessities, but the weather is supposed to turn cold and yucky tomorrow, so today had to be the day. The boys and I made it to Walgreens and to Wal-Mart and enjoyed the 60 degree weather, while we could. I only forgot one thing at the store, Dylan’s Sweet Potato Puffs. I think my hubby is finishing up the Christmas shopping tomorrow, so I’ll have to have him pick those up. Dylan loves them, and he will be pretty grumpy if we run out of them.

I did get all of the supplies for Christmas Dinner, and 2 new Transition Sippy Cups for Dylan. He has been biting Mommy (ouch), so he may be ready to be weaned. Here is the problem: he isn’t too fond of a bottle, or even formula, so this is going to be tough.  He likes to play with his new cup, but he makes the yuckiest face if he takes a sip. What to do 😉

What a Long Night

Last night was one of those nights. Thade was up late and Dylan was up on the hour.  I think Dylan is having teething troubles, and today I am completely wiped out. I had such high hopes of getting a few things accomplished today, but my mind is so starved for sleep, that I can’t seem to figure out what to do or where to start on all of the tasks.

There are a few good sales going on at Walgreens and Dillons this week, I bet I could find some pretty good deals on Christmas dinner supplies. I don’t know if I have the energy to go and shop though.

How I wish I could fit in a long nap 😉

All Baked Out

Well I’m finally all finished, and I am beat. Today I ended up making a little over 17 dozen cookies, 209 total. That brings my holiday cookie baking total up to  280 cookies! Not all of the cookies made it into the pictures though, we had to sample a few of them 😉

A Baker’s Dozen

Cookie Day is finally here! Thade is pretty excited, and me too. I can’t wait to get to baking! Today I’m baking at least 12 dozen cookies, but I’ll probably bake 14-15 dozen so we can have some for weekend snacking. I’ll be baking or no-baking:

  • Coconut Macaroons
  • No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (Thade’s favorite)
  • Wedding Cake Cookies
  • Candy Bar Cookies (James favorite)
  • Double Chocolate M&M Cookies (might be Thade’s new favorite)

I’ll be freezing the extra dough (not the macaroons though) and baking again right before Christmas. I think I need another cup of coffee to get me started.

We also have a few chores and errands to do today. So here is what else we have planned for today:

  • Assemble 4 Christmas Cookie Plates to deliver tomorrow
  • Pick-up new Prescription at Dr’s office
  • Go to Walgreens (maybe)
  • Visit Hubby at work (afternoon)
  • Clean the dining room table
  • Empty Upstairs Waste Baskets
  • Empty Downstairs Waste Baskets
  • Take out the trash, and take trash cans to the alley

Yeah I definitely need another cup of coffee, or maybe two 😉
